Zaylie Rasmussen 2022 - Paternity Court Rasmussen - Man Drives 100+ Miles For Birth Of Child

He doesn't want anything to do with you or your

child

. MILLER: I'm sorry. That's a lot of nerve! You just showed me where your priorities were, right there. I'm sorry. Because I had hopes. That You weren't just acting like a fool, because you were so angry at him, because he cheated on you, that you would take a father away from your son. But those applause you made... What applause? I am a single mother with no one to love me or my son! Why are you cheering? MILLER: I'm not. No, you were! He is here breaking down because he loves this

child

so much.

I sit here day after day with women who expect a man to drive 16

miles

to see his baby, much less 160

miles

each way. And follow a

court

order and sign a

birth

certificate and come day after day and week after week so that visitation can grow to have a relationship with the child. And you have no compassion? Not just for him but for Zaylie. She has three years. JUDGE LAKE: Now, not only will he be heartbroken, we have to break this news to her! And you're all here cheering like it's a sport. JUDGE LAKE: This is this baby's life.

And I asked you: "Where is this other man?" "I don't know." And you know he wants nothing to do with you. Sitting up there cheering! Mr. Rasmussen, I'm very sorry. I know this hurt you. Thank you, your honor. RASMUSSEN: I don't know what I'm going to do. She is my whole world. Everything I do is for her. I...She was the reason she went to work every day. I know you have a bond with her. I feel like my whole world is in ruins now. Ms. Miller, I'll tell you this before we adjourn. JUDGE LAKE: Your daughter deserves to know who her father is.

Whether or not that man wants to be in her life, to be physically present and involved in it, he has a legal obligation to help support her financially. It is important that you do this well. One day she will ask: "Where is my father?" Every action you take from this point on will write the story that you will then have to tell. I wish you the best of luck. We have advice for you. The session is over.
